I finally finished the book last week and wanted to share just a few more portions of this little gem by Alexander Strauch. It was a great book and it inspired me to be more consistent about opening our home. I have probably had weekend supper company at least once or twice a [...]

Cooking for Seven
Posted in Uncategorized on February 26, 2007 | 4 Comments »
Somehow, I figured out a while back that I save a lot of money and time if I only go grocery shopping once a month. Well, major grocery shopping that is. I still have to run to the store at least once a week for milk, produce, juice, and other assorted miscellaneous items. Sometime around [...]
The Cross Driven Life
Posted in Theology for Housewives on February 23, 2007 | 8 Comments »
If you’ve known me very long, you know I’m not a huge fan of Rick Warren’s material. I believe the church should be God-centered rather than seeker-centered, and my heart’s desire is that the lost would be attracted to a “cross-driven” life. My prayer is that men and women would see a life that is [...]
Homeschooling with Toddlers
Posted in Homeschooling on February 21, 2007 | 4 Comments »
When I was homeschooling the older two, I had two toddlers underfoot– but my memories of those days seem easier than what I am doing now which is homeschooling one with only one toddler underfoot. I think the fact that back in the old days, my toddlers had each other to play with has something [...]
The Hospitality Commands
Posted in Hospitality on February 20, 2007 | 9 Comments »
I’ve said it before– but I feel it bears repeating– hospitality isn’t a spiritual gift. It’s a command.
I just started rereading the book The Hospitality Commands by Alexander Strauch. The following is an excerpt from the first chapter. I hope this whets your appetite as it has mine.
While on vacation, my wife and I had [...]

Praying for our Children

Safe am I, safe am I
In the hollow of His hand
Sheltered o’er, sheltered o’er
Forever, evermore
No ill shall harm me
No foe alarm me
For He keeps both day and night
Safe am I, safe am I
In the hollow of His hand
For God is watching over you
Watching over you
Watching over you
God is watching over you
Watching over [...]
How to Win Them?
Posted in Evangelism on February 17, 2007 | 8 Comments »
Every place in which we have ever lived in has had its quirks. Our first pastorate was located in Texas near a town that boasted of being “Home of the world famous fruitcake.” One time, we worked with a church plant for a year in Jonesboro, Arkansas and were next-door-neighbors to Andrew Golden, eleven [...]
Family Devotions
Posted in Parenting on February 14, 2007 | 4 Comments »
I was able to pick up a few (OK– I went crazy in their awesome bookstore) new resources at the Desiring God conference last week. I’ll share good things as I come across them. Today– I thought I would talk about two books that I bought for our family devotion time.
This week, the kids [...]
Real Women Wear Aprons
Posted in Homemaking on February 13, 2007 | 3 Comments »
I have long held the belief that serious homemakers wear aprons. I mean, you can’t do housework and baby work and kitchen work and not get a little dirty– right?
Which is why I’ve worn my old denim Pampered Chef apron for years now. Until last week. While we were in Minneapolis, shopping around in the Mall of [...]
